Americans National Game 

By A. G. SPALDING 

Price, $2.00 Net 

A book of 600 pages, profusely illustrated with over 100 
full page engravings, and having sixteen forceful cartoons 
by Homer C. Davenport, the famous American artist 



The above work should have a place in every 
public library in this country, as also in the 
libraries of public schools and private houses. 

The author of "America's National Game" 
is conceded, always, everywhere, and by every- 
body, to have the best equipment of any living 
writer to treat the subject that forms the text 
of this remarkable volume, viz., the story of 
the origin, development and evolution of Base 
Ball, the National Game of our country. 

Almost from the very inception of the game 
until the present time — as player, manager and 
magnate — Mr. Spalding has been closely iden- 
tified with its interests. Not infrequently he 
has been called upon in times of emergency 
to prevent threatened disaster. But for him 
the National Game would have been syn- 
dicated and controlled by elements whose 
interests were purely selfish and personal. 

The book is a veritable repository of in-' 
formation concerning players, clubs and 
personalities connected with the game in 
its early days, and is written in a most 
interesting style, interspersed with enlivening anecdotes and 
accounts of events that have not heretofore been published. 

The response on the part of the press and the public to 
Mr._ Spalding's efiforts to perpetuate the early history of the 
National Game has been very encouraging and he is in receipt 
of hundreds of letters and notices, a few of which are here given. 

Robert Adamson, New York, writing from the office of Mayor 
Gaynor, says: — "Seeing the Giants play is my principal recreation and 
I am interested in reading everything I can find about the game. I 
especially enjoy what you [Mr. Spalding] have written, because you 
stand as the highest living authority on the game." 

Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburg National League club: — "It 
does honor to author as well as the game. I have enjoyed reading it 
very much." 

\yA,LTER Camp, well known foot ball expert and athlete, says: — "It 
(s mdeed a remarkable work and one that I have read with a great 
deal of interest." 

John B. Day, formerly President of the New York Nationals:— 
"Your wonderful work will outlast all of US.** 




W. Irving Snyder, formerly of the house of Peck & Snyder:— "^ 
have read the book from cover to cover with great interest." 

Andrew Peck, formerly of the celebrated firm of Peck & Snyder:— 
"All base ball fans should read and see how the game was conducted in 
early years." 

Melville E. Stone, New York, General Manager Associated Press: — 
"I find it full of valuable information and very interesting./ I prize 
it very highly." 

George Barnard, Chicago: — "Words fail to express my appreciation 
of the book. It carries me back to the early days of base ball and 
makes me feel like a young man again." 

Charles W. Murphy, President Chicago National League club: — 
"The book is a very valuable work and will become a part of every 
base ball library in the country." 

John F. Morrill, Boston, Mass., old time base ball star. — "I did 
not think it possible for one to become so interested in a book on base 
ball. I do not find anything in it which I can criticise." 

Ralph D. Paine, popular magazine writer and a leading authority on 
college sport: — "I have been reading the book with a great deal of 
interest. 'It fills a long felt want,' and you are a national benefactor 
for writing it." 

Gen. Fred Funston, hero of the Philippine war: — "I read the book 
with a great deal of pleasure and was much interested in seeing the 
account of base ball among the Asiatic whalers, which 1 had written 
for Harper's Round Table so many years ago." 

DeWolf Hopper, celebrated operatic artist and comedian: — "Apart 
from the splendid history of the evolution of the game, it perpetuates 
the memories of the many men who so gloriously sustained it. It should 
be read by every lover of the sport." 

Hugh Nicol, Director of Athletics, Purdue University, Lafayette, 
Ind. : — "No one that has read this book has appreciated it more than 1. 
Ever since I have been big enough, I have been in professional base 
ball, and you can imagine how interesting the book is to me." 

Mrs. Britton, owner of the St. Louis Nationals, through her treas- 
urer, H. D. Seekamp, writes: — "Mrs. Britton has been very mucli 
interested in the volume and has read with pleasure a number of 
chapters, gaining valuable information as to the history of the game." 

Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D.D., New York: — "Although I am not 
very much of a *sport,' I nevertheless believe in sports, and just at 
the present time in base ball particularly. Perhaps if all the Giants 
had an opportunity to read the volume before the recent game (with 
the Athletics) they might not have been so grievously outdone." 

Bruce Cartwright, son of Alexander J. Cartwright, founder of the 
Knickerbocker Base Ball Club, the first organization of ball players in 
existence, writing from his home at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, says: 
— "I have read the book with great interest and it is my opinion that 
no better history of base ball could have been written." 

George W. Frost, San Diego, Calif.: — "You and 'Jim' White, George 
Wright, Barnes, McVey, O'Rourke, etc., were little gods to us back 
ihere in Boston in those days of '74 and '75, and I recall how indig- 
nant we were when you 'threw us down' for the Chicago contract. 
The book is splendid. I treasure it greatly." 

A. J. Reach, Philadelphia, old time professional expert: — "It certainly 
Is an interesting revelation of the national game from the time, years 
before it was so dignified, up to the present. Those who have played 
the game, or taken an interest in it in the past, those at present en- 
gaged in it, together with all who are to engage in it, have a rare 
treat in store." 

Dr. Luther H. Gulick, Russell Sage Foundation: — "Mr. Spalding 
has been the largest factor in guiding the development of the game 
and thus deserves to rank with other great men of the country who 
have contributed to its success. It would have added to the interest 
of the book if Mr. Spalding could have given us more of his own 
personal experiences, hopes and ambitions in connection with the game" 



Fxttsburg Press: — "Historical incidents abound and tlic Dook is as 

excellent authority on the famous sport." 

Philadelphia Telegraph: — "In this book Mr. Spalding has written the 
most complete and authoritative story of base ball yet published." 

New York Herald: — "If there is anyone in the country competent to 
Vfite a book on base ball it is A. G. Spalding who has been interested 
in the game from its early beginnings." 

I. E. Sanborn, Chicago Tribune: — "'America's National Game' has 
been added to the Tribune's sporting reference library as an invaluable 
contribution to the literature of the national pastime." 

O. C, Reichard, Chicago Daily News: — "It is cleverly written and 
presents information and dates of great value to the newspaper man 
of to-day!" 

George C. Rice, Chicago Journal:—"! have read the book through^ 
and take pleasure in stating that it is a complete history of the game 
from the beginning until the present time." 

Sherman R. Duffy, Sporting Editor Chicago Journal: — "It is a most 
interesting work and one for which there was need. It is the most 
valuable addition to base ball literature that has yet been put out." 

Joseph H. Vila, New York Sun: — "I have read it carefully and with 
much interest. It is the best piece of base ball literature I have ever 
seen, and I congratulate you on the work." 

Tim Murnane, Sporting Editor Boston Globe: — "You have given to 
the world a book of inestimable value, a classic in American history; 
a book that should be highly prized in every home library in the 
country." 

Francis C. Richter, Editor Sporting Life, Philadelphia: — "From a 
purely literary standpoint, your work is to me amazing. Frankly, I 
would not change a line, for the reason that the story is told in a way 
to grip the reader and hold his interest continually." 

Los Angeles Times (editorial); — "Spalding's book has been out six 
months and ninety thousand copies have been sold. We understand 
there will be other editions. America has taken base ball seriously 
for at last two generations, and it is time enough that the fad was 
given an adequate text book." 

Caspar Whitney, Editor Outdoor America^ and one of the leading 
authorities in the world on sport: — "You have made an invaluable con- 
tribution to the literature of the game, and one none else could have 
made. Moreover, you've done some very interesting writing, which is 
a distinct novelty in such books — too often dull and uninteresting." 

New York World: — "Albert G. Spalding, who really grew up with 
the sport, has written 'America's National Game,' which he describes 
as not a history, but the simple story of the game as he has come to 
know it. His book, therefore, is full of living interest. It is a volume 
generously illustrated and abounds in personal memories of base ball 
in the making." 

^ New York Sun: — "There is a mass of interesting information regard- 
ing _ base ball, as might be expected, in Mr. Spalding's 'America's 
National Game.' It is safe to say that before Spalaing there was no 
base ball._ The book is no record of games and players, but it is 
historical in a broader sense, and the author is able to give his personal 
decisive testimony about many disputed points." 

Evening Telegram, New York; — "In clear, concise, entertaining, nar- 
rative style, Albert G. Spalding has contributed in many respects the 
most interestmg work pertaining to base ball, the national game, which 
has been written. 

_ "There is so much in it of interest that the temptation not to put 
Jt down until it is completed is strong within the mind of every 
person who begins to read it. As a historical record it is one of those 
volumes which will go further to straighten some disputed points than 
all of the arguments which could be advanced in good natured disputes 
which might last for months."

Warman's Indian Club System 

ONE CLUB 

GENERAL DIRECTIONS 

Grasp the club firmly, but easily, the little finger rest- 
ing against the knob. As these exercises are intended 
/or physical development and not for the purpose of dis- 
playing ** fancy" or *' snake movements" — very good 
in their way and for the purpose designed — it is advis- 
able and necessary that the knob of the club should never 
slip to the thumb and forefinger; neither should the 
thumb extend up the handle of the club. Place the idle 
arm at the side, with the back of the fingers resting 
gracefully against the side of the body. Do not allow 
the club to wabble. When a movement is made requir- 
ing the arm to be extended, hold the club firmly, yet as 
gracefully as if it were a part of that extension. Imagine 
that you are standing between perfect circles at right 
angles with each other — large and small on either side; 
large in front and small behind. The clubs should fol- 
low these lines perfectly in all the small circles and 
sweeps. 

Be satisfied to practice with one club until all the 
single moves have been mastered; the double moves 
will then be more readily attained, as they are combina- 
tions of th^ single. 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Practice each move separately, as shown in the illus- 
tiation of the same. Learn the name of each move, and 
it will be helpful, inasmuch as it is suggestive. 

Do not be ambitious to handle heavy clubs. Judicious 
practice regularly taken with a pair of light clubs will 
prove more beneficial than spasmodic or overwork with 
heavy clubs. Stand firmly, but not rigidly. Place the 
feet in as graceful and comfortable a position as the 
nature of the movement will allow. Do not quite touch 
the heels, nor place them too far apart, when fapinjr sli^ 
audience.

INDIAN CLUBS. 



Place the club in the hands, as shown in position. 
Toss the club a little higher than the head, placing the 
left hand against the side of the body, the back of the 
fingers touching the body. Pass the right hand back of 
the head at the right side, and allow the club to drop 
and form a complete small circle back of the head, which 
I designate as the suia/l inivard. Follow this movement 
with a full sweep of the arm in front toward the left 
side, bringing it up on the right to make two small 
inwards, etc., thus forming Fig. i.

CONDENSED FOR CONVENIENCE 

ONE CLUB 

Presupposing that the pupil has become familiar with 
all the movements; i.e., with the necessary details in 
the learning of each, I present herewith my system of 
exercises in a condensed form, as a reminder to the indi- 
vidual, or as an aid to the teacher in calling the move- 
ments to a class. 

The order of exercises, and the number of movements 
of each, are the same as I use for my classes in their 
public exhibitions. 

On the rostrum, at the close of my lecture on '"Scien- 
iific Physical Training, or the Care of the Body," \ aim 
not only to entertain, but to exemplify the principles set 
forth in my lecture, by giving, in appropriate costume, 
my entire system of Indian-club exercises — the clubs 
weighing eight pounds each. 

As a rule, 1 do not advocate the use of heavy clubs; 
but these, to me, do not seem heavy, having had them 
in use — privately and publicly— for thirty years. 

My plan of work is on the principle of "cumulative 
strength" — the only true principle. Hence I advise the 
use of one club throughout the entire system of exercises; 
then rest a moment before swinging the two clubs. 
Rest again, if desirable, at the close of the ** windmill," 
before concluding the entire system. 

By so doing I fmd no difficulty in closing the evening's 
entertainment by a few movements with both dubs 
(i6 lbs.) in one hand.

INDIAN CLUBS. 37 



TWO CLUBS 



GENERAL DIRECTIONS 

When the clubs fall parallel in the same direction, they 
should drop simultaneously, and should not be separated 
from each other any greater distance during the move- 
ment than when the movement began. 

With the single exception of a ''follow" movement 
(the windmill, Fig. 12) both clubs should drop with 
the same impulse, even though they are making differ- 
ent movements. The slightest variation from this rule 
will destroy the gracefulness and beauty of the swinging. 

When facing front, avoid turning the body from side 
to side, except in Fig. i. Practice before a mirror, in 
order that every movement of the club may be seen 
while facing front. This will teach one to look at his 
audience, instead of turning his head and watching the 
clubs. Master your clubs instead of allowing them to 
master you. 



38 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Take position by pointing the two clubs to the left, 
as shown in the illustration. Keep the palms of the 
hands up in order to steady the clubs. Toss both clubs 
up and out, sweeping them down in front of the body, 
and bringing them up to left side. Avoid angles. Toss 
them out and bringthem in as if describing an arc of a circle^ 

N. B. — To take up the clubs artistically — which can- 
not be done until all of the movements shall have beer 
learned — see page 68.

in the backward drop. It then sweeps down in front 
and is pushed back of the head, making a backward

Change — By sweeping Ihc clubs up to the left side, 
holding the left arm horizontal, and passing the right 
club back of the head. Make three small inward circles 
with the right hand, then sweep in front of the face, and 
make a poise and drop with the right hand.

Change— By sweeping the clubs to a small circle back 
of the head, as shown by the position of the clubs in Fig. 
lo. Turn the body squarely to the left, the weight on 
both feet. Make a small side-circle with the left hand, 
while the right makes a large side-circle. Then make a 
small side-circle with the right hand, and a large side- 
circle with the left. Both ^clubs should fall with the 
same impulse — the one making a large circle, while the 
other makes a small.

Change — 5-y checking the large side-circle, with the 
right hand, just as the club has passed a short distance 
back of the feet. At the same time extend the left arm 
and club up and forward — pointing exactly opposite the 
right. Slip the right foot a little back of the left — the 
momentum of the club on the downward sweep will 
aid you. With a quick but strong impulse sweep both 
clubs at once in opposite directions — the left arm makes 
a large circle forward, the right arm a large cii^ic .. 
versed. Keep the arms unbent and close to the body.

Change — By halting the right club as it sweeps up in 
front on the third reverse. Let it fall to a small side. 
Check the left club as it passes the feet the third time, 
and bring it up in front with a sweep. It will reach 
there in time to join the right club as it makes a second 
small side-circle. Join them (both making a small side), 
sweep them to the front (turning the body front), and 
pass them back of the head, making small circles back, 
as shown by position of clubs in Fig. lo. Pass directly 
to the windmill, and add small side alternates (Fig. 22).

THE FINISH 

Halt the right club when completing the third small 
alternate, till the left club comes up on the third small 
circle. Sweep both in front with one impulse, and pass 
them back over the head to a small circle, as shown by 
the position of the clubs in Fig. lo. Follow this with a 
small side-circle (Fig. 21). Pass the clubs gracefully 
under the arms (Fig. 24). Keep them there till you 
have made your bow and exit. 




C8 INDIAN CLUBS. 



TWO CLXTBS 

TO TAKE UP BOTH CLUBS ARTISTICALLY 

Face front. Stand between the clubs. Fold the 
arms. With the first note of the music unfold the arms, 
raise the hands above the head and sweep them down 
to the side. Bend the body, take the clubs with suffi- 
cient impulse to sweep them a short distance back. 
Straighten the body, and this will give the clubs an im- 
pulse forward. Sweep them up high enough in front 
to make small side-circles (Fig. 17), then small circles 
back of the head (Fig. 10), then, turning the body 
quickly to the left, make small side-circles (Fig. 21), 
halting them in position of Fig. i — two clubs.

Start with the boy by 
making him take some 
kind of exercise, and if 
he is not inclined to do 
so without urging, pro- 
vide him with suitable 
apparatus that is at the 
same time interesting. 
It won't be long before 
you will see the effects 
in his improved phy- 
sique and no urging 
will be necessary to in- 
duce him to show off 
his prowess on swingmg 
rings or trapeze. The 
boy that is started this 
way grows up with the 
inclination for athletic 
exercise that will keep 
him in good health during 
the balance of his life. 



The apparatus is supported by two 
strong screw-hooks in the ceiUng, 
about eighteen inches apart. It can 
also be used out of doors. The straps 
are of extra strong webbing and 
adjustable to any desired height; 
rings heavily japanned. The apparatus can be put up in any room, and removed 
in a moment, leaving only two hooks in the ceiling visible. The various combina- 
tions can be quickly and easily made. We furnish in addition, a board adjustable 

to the stirrups, which forms 

an excellent swing.

Spalding Chest Weight No. 5 and Attachments 



Spalding 
Chest Weight No. 5 

The movements for which 
this machine was specially 
designed are calculated to 
correct defects incident to 
school and office work, 
correct flat chest, round 
shoulders, forward head, 
regulate digestion and as- 
sist nature in the elimina- 
tion of the waste products 
of the system, and in con- 
junction with the bath to 
produce that buoyant feel- 
ing which makes life really 
worth living. To get best 
results enter into the exer- 
cises as described and il- 
lustrated in "Pulley Weight 
Exercises," Spalding Ath- 
letic Library, No. 29, price 
10 cents, with your whole 
being, so as to induce copi- 
ous perspiration. 

No. 5. Because of its adjust- 
ment feature.which permits 
of all lower, as well as direct 
chest movements, this ma- 
chine is ideal for home use. 
The various changes are 
made by raising or lower- 
ing the center arm, requir- 
ing but a few seconds. It 
really combines two ma- 
chines in one, and is particularly suitable -where space is a con- 
sideration. Japan finish. Each machine is equipped with sixteen 
pounds of weights. 

Spalding Chest Weight* may be put up in a few minutes 




Spalding Head and Neck Attachment 

No. 3. Heavy cowhide. Ready for use by simply 
snapping to one of the handles or both. Each, $1.50 
For business men. Overcomes tendency to forward 
head, due to continuous work at desk. For women, 
will help develop a nicely rounded neck. This 
attachment, together with special center arm move- 
ments, as shown in- cut B, and exercise with foot and 
leg attachment, sl)own in evil C, wilb produce an 
absolutely erect carriage. 




Illustrating Method of Fastening Head and Neck Attachment 
to No. 5 Chest Weight Machine. 

Spalding Foot and Leg Attachment 

No. 2. Heavy cowhide. Readily attached to one handle 
or both ; can be worn with or without shoe. Ea., $ 1 .50 
This provides a local exerciser for all muscles of the 
leg. As such it is an excellent device for strengthening 
weak muscles, toning up others and giving exercise 
to stiff joints. 







t To Deepen the Chest 

Lying on the mat, feet toward (he machine (ropes 
through lower pulleys), swing arms forirard and over 
the head (not sideways) as far as possible. Keep 
elbows rigid. Inhale as the arms swing forward over 
the head ; exhale as the arms return. 



To Widen the Chest 

Lying on the mat with feet toward the machine, place 
the cords in lower pulleys, pull the cords over the head 
sideways, keeping the arms and hands close to the floor, 
elbows stiff. Inhale as the arms swing sidcivays over 
the head ; exhale as they return. 



For extremely stout business men particularly, the exercises shown in Cuts D and E will over- 
come, to a large extent, breathlessness, due to climbing stairs, etc. Never exercise within two 
hours after eating.

^axor^w^y Mori^oimilafl Bar 



No. A. The bar itself is made of selected hickory, having steel tubular ends 
into which iron sockets screw, holding rubber cushions. The socket on one 
end contains a left hand thread, on the other end a right hand thread. By 
fitting the bar in the doorway and turning it with the hands the ends are made 
to expand, and the friction applied by the rubber against the sides of the door- 
way is sufficient to sustain the weight of a heavy man. This bar may be used 
for chinning exercises, being adjustable to any height, also for abdominal work, 
as shown by cuts in margin of this page. Size of doorway in which bar will 
be used must be stated when ordering, as the adjustment is not great enough 
to meet all requirements in one size bar 

This No. A Bar is supplied regularly to fit any doorway under 33 inches in width. 

Bars to fit wider doorways . . . . . . . '. Elxtra, 50c. 

Should not be used in doorways wider than 42 inches. If length larger than 42 inches is 
required, it would be advisable to use a regular horizontal bar. Various styles listed below. 

No. 101. The keys fastened to each 
end of bar fit in the side sockets, which 
are secured to door jamb aind hold 
the bar firmly in place. The parts are 
of malleable iron, very light, yet strong 
enough to sustain the heaviest man.i 
The bar may be quickly removed 
when not in use, leaving no projecting 
part. Complete with parts. 

This No. 101 Bar is supplied regularly to 
fit any doorway under 37 inches. Bars to fit 
wider doorways, Extra, 50c. Should not be 
used in doorways wider than 42 in. If length 
larger than 42 in. is required, it would be 
advisable to use a regular horizontal bar. 
Various styles listed below. 

Extra sockets for doorway. Pair, 50c. 

With two pairs of sockets bar may be used 

for either chinning or abdominal exercises. 

Our steel core hickory bars are superior to anything of the kind in the market, 

and are almost exclusively used by professionals. The core is made of the 

finest tool steel. Every bar warranted.

A Safe zmd 3ure Cure for Constipation and Other Kindred Ailments 

Useful for treatment of constipation, based upon the principle of muscular 
contraction (the force which nature uses). It effectually applies force in the same 
direction that nature does, and will gradually discard the use of cathartics. A few 
moments* use each night, before retiring.and in the morning.upon arising.is all that 
is necessary. Its action upon the liver and stomach is equally as prompt and effect- 
ive, and derangements of these organs are speedily remedi ed. Complete. $10.0

A striking bag disk must be substantial 
if it is to be of use, and in the two 
styles, both adjustable and braced, 
which we list, this feature has not 
been neglected, while we have striven 
to put out a disk which is

DlSIi PLATFORM 

Can be put up in a very small space and taken down 
quickly when not in use by simply detaching the pipe fixture 
from the wall plate. The metal disk against which the 
bag strikes constitutes one of the best features ever incor- 
porated in an arrangement of this character, rendering it 
almost noiseless and very quick in action. This disk also 
combines an adjustable feature that is simple to operate and 
makes it possible for various members of the family to use 
the same disk.

QUALITY 



DuraM-Steel 
^lockers 

Wooden lockers are objectionable* 

because they attract vermin, absorb odors, 
can be easily broken into, and are dangerous 
"Ti account of fire. 

Lockers made from wire mesh or 
expanded metal afford little secur- 
ity, as they can be easily entered with wire cut* 
ters. Clothes placed in them become coverect 
with dust, and the lockers themselves present 
a poor appearance, resembling animal cages. 
Durand-Steel Lockers are made of finest 
grade furniture steel and are finished with 
gloss black, furnace-baked japan (400°), comparable 
to that used on hospital ware, which will never flake 
9>ff nor require refinishing, as do paints and enamels. 




Some 
Public 




of <h6 6,0 Ourand-Steel Lockers Installed In trt* 
Cymnasiums of Chicago. I2*x IS'x 42', Double Tier. 

Durand-Steel Lockers are usually built with 
doors perforated full length in panel design with sides 
and backs solid. This prevents clothes in one locker 
from coming in contact with wet garments 
in adjoining lockers, while plenty of venti- 
lation is secured by having the door perfo» 
rated its entire length, but, if the purchaser 
prefers, we perforate the backs also. 

The cost of Durand-Steel Lockers 
Is no more than that of first-class 
wooden lockers, and they last as long 
as the building, are sanitary, secure, and, 
in addition, are fire-proof.

standard Policy 

A Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. 

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a 
Manufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality. 

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a 
profit for the iobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions 
of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list 
price on his goods to the consumer. 

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out 
attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices are 
absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been served when the 
manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured 
his order from the retailer. . , . . 

However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who 
does not, and, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. 

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading 
tut alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibiHties, and 
grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts,** 
which vary with local trade conditions. 

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer 
and the jobber are assured ; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices 
to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably 
leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are 
practically eliminated. 

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists 
on lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this 
demand for the lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz.: the cheap- 
ening and degrading of the quality of his product. 

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that 14 years ago, in 1899, 
A. G. Spalding & Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic 
Goods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become known as " The Spalding 
Policy." „ . 

The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding 
Goods are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of Spalding 
Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer is 
assured a fair, legitimate and certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and 
the consumer is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition. 

The "Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the 
users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways : 

First.— The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods 
and the same prices to everybody. 

Second.— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence In 
purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials required 
in the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of their 
respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necessary 
quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Qyality. 

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply 
consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices— neither more nor less-the same 
prices that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. 

All Spalding dealers, as w^ell as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated 
exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. 

This briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful 
operation for the past 14 years, and will be indefinitely continued. 

In other words, "The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal ".for everybody.

standard Quality 



An article that is universally given the appellation " Standard " is thereby 
conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar 
nature. For 'instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit 
of currency, because it must legally contadn a specific proportion of pure gold, 
and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp 
thereon. As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeiting and 
other tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service 
Bureau of Elzperts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a 
PTeat extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves against 
counterfeit products — without the aid of "Government Detectives" or "Public 
Opinion " to assist them. 

Consequendy the " Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and 
"inferior quality" rest* entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the 
" Manufacturer." 

A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to " Quality," for 
thirty-four years, caused their Trade-Made to become known throughout 
the world as a Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the 
U. S. Currency is in its field. 

TTie necessity of uisnolding the Guzirantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and 
maintaining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvi- 
ous £w is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standeurd Currency. 

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other 
consumers when he assists a Reliable Memufacturer in upholding his Trade- 
Mark and all that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic 
Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by 
insisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic goods which 
they buy, because without this precaution our best efforts towards maintaining 
Standard Quality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual. 

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being 
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of 
" inferior goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. 

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold 
and a guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufac- 
turer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of a claim for Standard Quality 
depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman. 

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than 
povetty in qualitjr — and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
